This is the one people wait years for! On a sweet side street in inner SE, this 1926 Craftsman bungalow sits on just over half an acre... an almost unheard-of slice of land this close in. It’s been thoughtfully revived and deeply loved and you can tell... Inside, the renovation hits all the right notes. The eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home with a farm sink, high-end gas stove, marble counters, and French doors that open straight to the backyard... perfect for slipping out to snip herbs mid-dinner. The main floor lives easy with a spacious primary bedroom, a dedicated office/2nd bedroom, and nicely remodeled bath. Upstairs, you’ll find two more generous bedrooms. Design lovers will appreciate the details: Schoolhouse and Rejuvenation lighting, Pratt & Larson tile, and reclaimed gym flooring from Kellogg Middle School that adds both story and soul. Downstairs, an unfinished basement with super high ceilings offers more potential, it already has workout space with the bonus of a sauna already in place. The systems are solid and updated: central A/C, radon mitigation, whole house water filtration, newer electrical panel and gas furnace—so you can focus on living, not fixing. And then there’s the land. The front yard is a native plant haven with wild strawberries, Oregon iris, ferns, and red flowering currant all buzzing with life. Out back, it’s a full-on edible landscape with plums, cherries, blueberries, figs, and espaliered apples and pears, including some heritage varieties. Towering Douglas firs frame the space, giving it that tucked-away private feel, with plenty of room to expand your vision. A back patio with hot and cold water, a firepit and an oversized two-car garage, plus tool and woodsheds round out the property. Zoning allows for potential flag lot and additional build. Or an ADU? Tiny house? All of this, just minutes from the charm of Woodstock restaurants, shops and parks. It’s not just a home, it’s an urban homestead with roots and room to grow! [Home Energy Score = 1.

Rare opportunity to own one of few homes left in inner SE on over half an acre! And this ain't no bulldozer bait - she's a beaut! Built in 1926 but got a big facelift in 2018: new dream kitchen, bathroom and mudroom. Light fixtures from Schoolhouse & Rejuvenation blend perfectly with bathroom tile from Pratt & Larson and reclaimed gym wood floors from Kellog Middle School. Updated systems, enormous yard (riding lawn mower included) and minutes from restaurants in Woodstock and numerous parks!
